RECORDING 25

[Inhales through teeth]

[groans]

[laughs]

I took Kate home last night. I couldn’t believe what I did— not even her, possibly.

She was afraid of riding on a motorcycle, so I took her into a cab, instead, all the way to her residence. I had the driver wait for me.

Kate stood there and rang the doorbell; it seemed like she was nervous. I could tell by the way she couldn’t look at me that night.

So, I cleared my throat and then I said, “Well, goodnight.”

The expression on her face; it was priceless.

She didn't expect that I’d kiss her.

[utter silence]

On the forehead, on the forehead. Don’t— think I forced her or anything. . . .

She was all like, “yah.” Repeatedly.

All I did was laugh and squeeze her cheeks softly. Then waved goodbye at her as I entered the cab.

‘I felt like a lovesick romancer.’

Fighting! For. . .you know, the best in this relationship. . .

"Ah, why did I say that?!"
